I did read the comments. Not too sympathetic over there. I thought it was a disaster. Poor dude.

That happen to my friend in his 89 Stang, he was spraying a 150 shot over a bridge and took the whole top off the Trick Flow Manifold and blew his hood apart

It was a disaster, someone could have gotten hurt the way that thing exploded. This doesn't mean nitrous is bad though. Nitrous in and of itself doesn't cause things to blow up.

Nitrous backfires like that are usually due to a nitrous system that is too rich or a system that atomizes the fuel poorly, thus causing pooling or puddling of fuel in the intake manifold.

The nitrous bottle and solenoids have no idea what RPM you're at, and they're just pushing it into the intake at a constant volume so you want it to kick on at a repeatable rpm so you don't have the above issue.

A $150 window switch would have prevented thousands of dollars of damage. That's why i have little sympathy. I read some of the comments there too. He blames it on the dyno operator and the rpm it was shot at... which I agree to an extent with but, the variance on being able to activate it -- it would have been a matter of time before it grenaded.

I'm a firm believer in using all the safety devices that are available. True, they aren't necessary and you can get away with out them, but as you can see for the money they are well worth it to head off a catastrophe.

Agrred Troop, window switch all the way.
